OUT OF ALL THE GAMES THAT ARE LEFT FOR RELEASE, WHICH GAME WILL SELL THE MOST IN 2010?

2010 has seen several high profile releases so far, which have gone on to sell millions- Mass Effect 2 (Xbox 360, PC), Red Dead Redemption (Xbox 360, PS3), God of War 3 (PS3), Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii), Starcraft 2 (PC) and Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver (DS) are just among the several games released this year that have achieved platinum status many times over.

This doesn't look to stop any time soon, with several high profile releases lined up for the coming four months. Of these, however, only a few will achieve 'blockbuster' status- these games have been listed in the poll.

Out of all the games listed in the poll, which do you think will sell the most in 2010?Please note that I'm not asking a question about cumulative lifetime sales- I'm asking which game will sell the most for whatever remains of this year.

Also give your reasons!

Wii Party. Call of Duty Black Ops or Halo Reach could be a good candidate for second place though.

Imo you should have put fable 3 instead of gt5 since fable 3 has more preorders than gt5. But ill go with reach especially since the limited edition the legendary and even the reach console is sold out at gamestop.

Hmmmm.... Call of Duty. Here's my reasoning: Black Ops will get the blockbuster opening, selling like 3-4 million on day one or something (like Modern Warfare 2 did). Following that, it will sell an equal amount over the next two months at least, which will give it a total of 6-8 million units sold. Wii Party WILL outsell Black Ops, but only over its lifetime, not all at once. This is because that game, like all Nintendo games, will be a slow burner, and will sell a lot of units slowly. But since your question is about the highest selling game of 2010, Black Ops wins. Easily. Second place will most likely be Halo: Reach.

It has Wii in its name, is that not enough to know that it'll probably sell 20 million+?

Why is there no sc2 option?ferret-gamer
Because this is for the games that haven't been released yet. If you read the OP, though, you'll find SC2 is on there.

IMO, this looks like it will be the best of the Wii branded casual titles Nintendo has released (barring the Wii Sports games, of course)

Gotta be CoD.... mostly because its multiplat... Then probably Halo then Wii Party then GT5..... But GT5 is too huge to be a one hit wonder like most games, it should sell a continuously large number for a long long time after Halo Reach and CoD's numbers have dwindled.

Cod will, only because its multiplat. Otherwise as far as percentage of users for a specific system, halo will win.

Black Ops without a doubt. COD is immensely popular right now, plus it's a multiplat. I actually would not be AT ALL surprised if the Black Ops 360 version alone outsold Halo: Reach.

Black ops easily and I think it will sell more than Halo on Xbox 360 alone too. Considering the fact that Modern warfare 2 is best selling xbox 360 game and has sold 25+ million.... ya no chance.

Black ops has given people a reason to buy cod games again. It will sell very well. Not as good as MW2 but great nevertheless. i wonder what is in store next year for the CoD series.

Cataclysm is out this year too. It'll probably outsell TBC which I think still holds the record for most PC game sales in 24 hours.
